Popis: SUMMARY In large-scale wireless sensor networks, in order to support group mobility of mobile sinks, this letter proposes a novel strategy for energy-efficient and robust data dissemination to the sinks based on cluster-based communication. The novel strategy is composed of two major mechanisms for reduction of structure construction overhead and routing state maintenance overhead: 1) a virtual infrastructure construction through grid-referred clustering and 2) inter-cluster communication by geographic routing relying on recursive location search. Based on the two major mechanisms, the strategy provides representative location management per sink group, distributed data collection, and per-cluster foot-print chaining in order to effectively adapt the traditional strategy for individual mobile sinks. Simulation results prove the proposed strategy shows better performances
